Relief and Rehabilitation in Cyclone Titli affected areas
The ‘Relief and Rehabilitation in Cyclone Titli affected areas’ project provided immediate relief, and supported rehabilitation efforts in our partner villages affected by the cyclone. We estimated gram panchayat-wise damage due to the cyclone, conducted health awareness drives, organised health checkup camps; distributed dry ration, provided cash and cloth for work opportunities and restored piped water supply systems.
The project aimed to assess the extent of damage, and provide rehabilitation support to affected communities through employment generation and restoration of productive assets.
